ShanghaiTech University is a municipal public science and engineering university in Pudong, Shanghai, China. The university was founded in 2013 by contracts between the Shanghai Municipal People's Government and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. [2] The university is part of the Double First-Class Construction.
The university has five schools and three research institutes. In 2018, it had 1433 undergraduates, 1788 Master's and PhD students, and 485 faculty members. [3]
The school was founded by the Shanghai municipal government and Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2014 Jiang Mianheng, the son of former CCP General Secretary Jiang Zemin, became president of the ShanghaiTech University. [5] Before his death in December 2018, Zhang Shoucheng was a professor at ShanghaiTech University. [6]
The university has five schools in operation:
ShanghaiTech has two research institutes:
The School of Physical Science and Technology offers bachelor, master and PhD degrees in physics, astronomy, chemistry, material science and technology and energyenvironmentalnment science.
The research of the school is concentrating on:
The School of Information Science and Technology offers two bachelor's degrees: Computer Science and 'Electrical and Information Engineering' and Master and PhD degrees in four directions: Computing Theory and Software, Computer Systems and Applications, Information Theory and Systems, Electronic Devices and Integrated Systems. [14]
The research of the school is concentrated in seven research centers: [15]
The School of Life Science and Technology conducts teaching and research in all fundamental areas of life science. Its research is focused on, but not limited to, genomics and proteomics, epigenetics, RNA biology, systems biology, stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, super-resolution microscopy, chemical biology and drug discovery, and translational medicine.
The School of Entrepreneurship and Management does not offer degrees but instead teaches all students of ShanghaiTech University in creativity and creative confidence, critical-thinking and about skills which leads to learning how to innovate. Among others, courses are taught on Economics and Design Thinking.
The School of Creative Arts offers no degrees but it offers a non-diploma course with the University of South California and is planning to offer students art courses and lectures. The dean of SCA is Li Ruigang, the former president of the Shanghai Media Group and the chairman of China Media Capital. The vice dean is John McIntosh, former chair of Computer Art in SVA, New York.
The Shanghai Institute for Advanced Immunochemical Studies is performing antibody and immunochemistry research, dedicated to the understanding of the basic structure and design of biological molecules. It has eight key laboratories in the fields of antibody design, ADC chemistry, phenotypic screening, structure biochemistry, cell biology, stem cell biology, antibody engineering and antibody structure, covering all the capabilities that one needs to go from discovery of an important antibody through all the steps necessary to turn it into a drug. Besides, seven large technical platforms including cell sorting, imaging, protein and gene, HTS, informatics, analytical and animal sciences are also being developed. Nobel laureate James Rothman is a Professor-in-Residence of SIAIS.
The iHuman Institute focused exclusively on the basic and applied science of human cell signaling, with research groups in the fields of Chemical and Cell Biology, Chemistry, Antibody Development, Computational Chemistry, Imaging, Structural Biology, System Biology, and Translational Biology. Basic science is at the core of the iHuman Institute, with direct application to drug discovery. Raymond C. Stevens is the director of the iHuman Institute and Nobel laureate Kurt Wüthrich is leading the iHuman research group on Molecular Structural Biology.
The ShanghaiTech campus is located in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, amongst many national and international R&D-based companies. The university is in very close proximity to the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility, the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute and the National Center for Protein Science Shanghai. The campus was designed by Moore Ruble Yudell Architects and won the Merit Award for Urban Design Award 2012 of the American Institute of Architects, California Council. [16] With 0.6 square kilometer and a construction area of 701,500 square meters the campus represents investments of the Shanghai Municipal Government of 4.169 billion CNY. [17] [18]
The low student-to-faculty ratio of at most 12 to 1 is hoped to ensure teaching quality. [19] When the school opened, it had plans to enroll 2,000 undergraduate students and 4,000 graduate students immediately. [20] In the future, ShanghaiTech aims to host 1000 faculty, including 500 adjunct professors from institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other universities. The university will then educate 2000 undergraduate and 4000 graduate students (including 3,000 Ph.D. candidates). [1]
ShanghaiTech hosts four nobel laureates. [21] Roger D. Kornberg and Kurt Wüthrich have both been professors, as has James E. Rothman, 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. [22]
The four year undergraduate program at ShanghaiTech University has 3 semesters (fall, spring and summer) per school year. The summer semester is mainly for course projects, with music and painting courses available.
By 2017, the school had 145 research teams. [23]
A research team at the school found "cerium can capture sunlight and cause a light-catalyzed reaction." The team then "developed a catalyst combination of cerium and alcohol, which can convert methane into fuel at room temperature, with no need of heat or condensation." [24]
The school is involved with studying artificial intelligence. [25] In September 2018, researchers at the school published an article saying they had successfully replaced genetic material in a human embryo that caused Marfan syndrome. [26]
A team at the school also "exploited the natural secretion of amyloid fibres from the bacterium bacillus subtilis for 3D printing to produce customized nanoscale biomaterials." [27]
